Defense review report rebuked

China rebukes Japan over defense report

"Japan's annual defense white has made improper comments on China's justified national defense and military development, maliciously hyped up such issues as the East China Sea, the South China Sea, cyber security, military transparency and so forth, played up the fallacy of the so-called China's military threat and defamed the Chinese armed forces, which is just cliché," the Information Affairs Office of China's Ministry of National Defense stated to the press.
